Comment (by goldfire):

 Another example I hit recently. `Language.Haskell.TH.Syntax` used to have

 {{{
 class (Applicative m, Monad m) => Quasi m where ...
 }}}

 When I saw this recently, I realized the `Applicative m` constraint is now
 redundant and so I removed it. However, it would have been helpful if GHC
 had issued a warning.
